More resilient than latex rubber, this silicone rubber tubing can stand up to high-temperature applications. Commonly used with metering (peristaltic) pumps and robotics, it can handle continuous bending and flexing and maintains its flexibility over time.
Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line. Semi-clear tubing gives you a limited view inside the line.
Continuous-Flex Soft Plastic Tubing for Air and Water

This PVC tubing can handle continuous bending and flexing in applications requiring movement, such as metering (peristaltic) pumps and robotics. Tubing is clear, so you can easily monitor flow through the line. It’s commonly referred to as Tygon tubing.

- Soft (Durometer 60A)
- Temperature Range: -70° to 450° F
This self-extinguishing, silicone rubber tubing meets UL 94 V-0 and UL 94 V-1 for flame retardance, so it delays the spread of flames to valuable equipment. It is opaque, so you cannot see what’s flowing through the line. Tubing is flexible to easily bend around objects.
Nickel-Plated Brass Low-Pressure Barbed Tube Fittings for Air and Water
The nickel plating on these brass fittings provides extra protection against corrosive environments. The plating won’t peel or chip, so the fittings keep a bright, polished appearance. The barbs grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold with no clamp required.
Metric male threads have a fiber gasket or O-ring for a tight seal.
